Electric heater operation (Optimal 1 and Optimal 2)
The EL can operate only at night, between 01:00 and 05:00
The EL starts operating when the amount of heat that can be produced by the HP (Qdisp) is not
sufficient to cover the amount of heat needed to reach the water temperature set point by 5:00
(Qreq).
The EL cannot operate more than3 hours/day. 2 other hours are used to calculate the Qreq and
Qdisp (normallybetween00:00-01:00 and 02:00-03:00) and EL cannot be used in these periods.
The EL, if activated, works for at least one continuous hour.
If the water set point temperature has not been reached by 4:00, EL will operate for the last
hour(until05:00), or until the water temperature set point is reached.
In normal conditions, the EL is activated only if also the HP is active.
If the heat pump is not operating, the EL will be activated only in case the external ambient
conditions don’t allow HP operation (Inlet air temperaturebelow-7°C or above40 °C.
